This Week in Neuroscience

• TWiN 61: Blood to the brain

  TWiN reveals that proteins travel from the blood to the brain where they are taken up by microglia, revealing a new mode of communication between the brain and the periphery.

• TWiN 58: Tongue-dragging rescue behavior

  TWiN explains a study showing that when a mouse is confronted with an unconscious conspecific, it engages in behavior including tongue-dragging to resuscitate the animal via a tongue-brain connection.
